The Norwegian magazine Horisont has published an article I have written about how the internet might develop in the years from now until 2015 (pdf format). Needless to say, the task was almost hopeless, but then again no one knows the “right” answer, so it wasn’t so daunting after all… Operationalizing the idea to mean “the social uses of the internet”, I settled on interviewing four people who would approach the subject from different angles: management professor Espen Andersen, librarian and blogger Erik Stattin, Opera CTO Håkon Wium Lie, law professor and author of “The Wealth of Networks” Yochai Benkler. But of course I take full responsibility for the final text. Excerpts at least of the Benkler interview will appear here.

UPDATE: The article is now available in html format.
